The infrastructure needed to provide secure e-business and email services includes trust, secure transaction, information exchange and e-payment components. The faceless nature of e-business requires that transactions and information exchange between two parties to be secured. The components authentication, integrity, confidentiality and non-repudiation are the necessary to build a trustable virtual world.

Because current password-based online authentication is cumbersome, insecure and unsafe companies and organizations are looking at other authentication technology methods. Authentication involves making sure that the identities of the parties to a transaction or information exchange can be established and verified.

The authentication technology is classified into three basic categories:

Something You Know
Is basically username and password authentication (single-factor authentication).
Something You Have
Is essentially token-based authentication in which users need to possess a token in order to gain access to the system (two-factor authentication). USB Tokens, OTP Keys and mobile authentication can be reasonably included in the “Something You Have” category.
Something You Are
Is biometric authentication in which access is granted to users based on biological signatures such as a fingerprint, iris scan or ID Control’s biometrics based on keystroke behaviour analysis.

In order to make authentication technology affordable for organizations with high security requirements and user-acceptance ID Control offers high class:

Two-factor authentication
Based on USB Tokens (with or without PKI support), OTP Keys and Mobile One Time Password Authentication.
Mutual Two-factor authentication
Based on time, counter and challenge-response mechanisms with the HandyID or MessageID. The USB Token (PKI), HandyID and MessageID enable the signing of digital transactions.

To achieve this stronger authentication establish and maintain secure networking environments for secure online communication are on the rise with ID Control USB Token (with PKI support), HandyID and KeystrokeID coming to the rescue. The purpose of ID Control USB Token, OTP Key , HandyID, MessageID and KeystrokeID is authentication and to manage in relation with the ID Control Server the access to a wide variety of (web-based) applications, networks and services. Web application solutions and services are enhanced by “something you have” and “something you are” technologies, providing secure access backed up by strong authentication such as with the ID Control USB Token, OTP Key, HandyID, MessageID and KeystrokeID. ID Control offers the USB Token (with PKI support), OTP Key, HandyID, MessageID and Keystroke with its unique selling points of multi-functional security, no software driver’s needs at the client side and relatively low costs. All authentication tokens can be easily customized to integrate with many kinds of e-Business, e-Government, e-Procurement, e-Banking, e-Healthcare and other applications, services and infrastructure. The ID Control USB Token and HandyID enable digital signatures which can enable vastly more efficient online business and government processes. When no or minimal user interference is wished or demanded Biometrics Keystrokes Behaviour Recognition with KeystrokeID suits the secure authentication and access job.
